DIGITAL ELECTRONICS.

Logical states and the computer's core.

While analog electronics is the basis for all digital systems in use (especially due to transistors), digital electronics has come to revolutionize the world thanks to the reliability and ease of use. Digital electronics has given us the modern processors we use today for all our needs from operating a computer system to working as embedded devices on our appliances.

Unlike analog electronics that operates as a continuous state of electrical current across time, digital electronics works as a series of discrete states that change in regular intervals (at least perceived that way in theory). This enables engineers to describe it as a series of logical states that change according to the designer's needs and that can be used to represent different symbols. Thanks to this it's possible to generate binary code which is the base of actual computer systems along with even more interesting digital applications like the Field Programming Gate Arrays (FPGA's) which are used in Reconfiguring Computing research.
